In this video, I evaluate two fishing products that I don't regularly use: (1) the KastKing Copolymer line, and (2) the Z-Man Ned Rig. First five minutes is really tackle talk; fishing comes after that! I hope you folks enjoy it, and don't forget to check out the extra footage on the 2nd Channel (bit.ly/2qvIiGD). I would like to thank KastKing for sponsoring this video! Support my sponsors to give EPF a boost out there. Check out their products: KastKing Copolymer line: amzn.to/2tigd6Z* Z-Man ShroomZ Jighead: amzn.to/2J4ycGm* Z-Man TRD Trailer, 2.75", Bubblegum: amzn.to/2GHpxLL* See you folks in two days! *Tight lines and FISH ON!*
I despise copolymer line. I used 50 lb copolymer line for surf fishing and had success with cabezon, but it's awkward when you cast it. It doesn't come off the reel smoothly. I've heard it's bad with tangles, but I honestly didn't experience any loops. However, the memory made it act funky.
I live literally 10 min away. Might have to give your spot a shot. Everywhere I've been trying haven't been producing yet. Got a quarter pounder out of Caroline the other day lol.
Extreme Philly Fishing fishing is heating up here in New England. Got my first Bluegill today and missed a hit from a Pickerel. Gonna look for them Striped Bass too!
Leo, you have to be the most honest and like able personality on RUclips. Your attitude is infectious and you are able to teach, without sounding patronizing. Thank you so much for the content that you produce and great luck in the future! -Chad-
Also, the way you care for all of the fish that you catch is admirable. I, for one, fish for food and get extremely upset when people don’t care for the resource that sustains them. Thanks again!
Hey Leo, glad u are trying out copolymer line, I’ve been throwing that line for years it’s the only line I throw I love it ,, I’ve come to hate fluorocarbon and the hassles that come with it,,,, copolymer is great, there are no special knots and not as much conditioning involved,, and it’s super strong
Leo, use that Ned Rig in multi species trips. I’ve found I’ll be bass fishing and end up catching big trout or walleye and even pike on the same set up. Kinda neat to see. Caught a 25” Brown Trout on the Ned Rig last weekend!
There are several good videos on how to extract deep hooked fish. And a tool needed. It would be wise if we all learned this as it unfortunately happens when fishing soft plastics. I enjoy your videos and your spirit.
The original ned rig was used with half of a standard senko. It was a way to utilize senkos that had been damaged from catching fish. The z-man came much later.
I use the bubble gum Z-man TRD's all summer long and I have always caught fish, Rock Bass, Smallmouth, even huge Bluegill. "The Deal" TRD trailers are really good to catch everything!! Sometimes you gotta pry the TRD's out with plyers cuz they inhale them.
Leo , great and fair video . The KastKing Copolymer Line is very good. I do hope you give the same test to the " Berkley , NanoFil " lines and lures I sent to you on 12, July 2020 . I think you will find those ( NanoFil) lines too be on par with the Copolymer line. NanoFil has no stretch at all. Very sensitive and strong. This is older ,so you may not see this tho. Thank you, Tom Daytona Beach,FL. 16, July 2020 .
Had a great day with the ned rig yesterday. Every other bait i used got zero action. Threw on the ned rig, low and behold, four nice largemouth in about an hour.
Hi Leo I have been watching your videos for a while and u r fantastic and I would like to say that ur intros are very detailed and have helped me catch a lot of my pbs and micro species
Why did u say "but" like you were going to say that he was opposite of fantastic ("u r fantastic but....") and then you go on and complement his intros. If you were using the word "but" there, what you said should have sounded something like this: "u r fantastic but I do not like your intros". Bad grammar, shame.
your fishing that pretty fast for a ned rig. less hops, more dead sticking and subtle twitches. its a super finesse presentation. if you are fishing it like a craw, grub, or carolina rig and its working,one of those 3 will out produce the ned rig. have fun and thanks for the vids.
Hey Leo, great video. I've been watching your videos for a while now. Great content always. Have you ever used the Kastking Fluorokote line? If not could you try that line one day and give your thoughts on it? How it feels, streaches, sensitivity. Keep putting out the good content.
I love that you are proving that for minimal money you can fish anywhere! BTW how do you enjoy the kastking rods? I have four Royale reels and I love them.
Hey Leo love your videos I'm from the Philadelphia area can't wait to run into you one day!!!! I was wondering if you were ever considered to be a member of the googan squad?
let the geese be. they are a beautiful part of nature. natural audio is a good thing. thanks for testing the line for us. I'm planning on buying the sharky III baitfeeder 5000 for salt.
I have a problem with your Videos, they are louder on the one side of my Headset than on the other. This doesnt happens at other Videos, can you check if your Sound settings are right? Except that problem you are doing a great job!
I tried co polymer line once, it feels like dental floss, i used it on a single outing cause it was breaking way to easy, same lb test as i normally used and it was snapping off left and right
Has anybody ever tried Mr Twister 'Poc-It' baits? It is not the elastic stuff, but by way of construction, it is my understanding that they too float. I believe they are a bit longer which makes them more adaptable to a texas weedless setup
Lol yea I'm sure it works fine.... I use braid for literally everything I do since I dont have the room money or rods and reels to use different line for each technique. Works for me still catch just as much fish. As for NEKO. It's just a worm but the tail sticks up. Never been in a situation where I needed to switch to a neko rig because fish aren't biting senko, power worm or trick worm lol..
I would never get caught dead using copolymer on a ned rig. Braid is so much more sensitive and Ned rigs are best around Rocky areas, the braid picks up those snags and light bites DRAMATICALLY better. Copolymer could be used for a short leader, but I never Ned rig without braid
lojo.fishing It's a game changer. Doesn't usually land big fish but it will produce when absolutely nothing else will even in the most pressured waters.
Love the Ned rig with the finesse TRD but I have the same problems when they choke the bait if I fish on to slack a line. Keep checking the line every few seconds and you should be okay. Tight lines Leo!
brotha i highly recomend if you are not fishing smallmouth waters not to use pink. it is not very natrual. or used in the largemouth bass community. i would say to use something in the style of motor oil, green pumpkin. and in the neds i use the deal. pink for lmb's is only used in the spawn for a visual in sight fishing. now in the smally community. pink is like candy haha.
I don’t like eating bass due to pond fishes are too fishy. For about 3 years I been catching so much basses and kill and cook them (I had a 55 gal fish tank for them to clean themselves out before putting them on plate) then I got scared of it for about 6-7 yrs now and still doesn’t like it that much maybe only for catch and release
You didn't get the lure out of the fishes mouth when u said his blood was stained on it hmmm you seem to cut the line on alot of fish to claim you handle fish well
Don't know what you are talking about. The thing that you saw in the video that looks like a fishing line is not fishing line. And I was very very specific when I said that I was going to take the lure out. :) P.s. in cases where I CUT the line, I would NEVER ever leave that amount of line outside of a fish's mouth, for real. Lol.

Extreme Philly Fishing
Woooooo 🐟
It was great to meet you today. Watching your videos got me to try fishing again after over 25 years. I don't catch much but still enjoy it.
Brett Marseglia nice of you to give the pink senkos to our boy out there. Tight lines!
Brett Marseglia fishing is a great sport/hobby! So cool you met Leo! Tight lines!
Tight lines!
Leo, you have to be the most honest and like able personality on RUclips. Your attitude is infectious and you are able to teach, without sounding patronizing. Thank you so much for the content that you produce and great luck in the future!

Leo my man!! You know the bass can’t escape from the Asian Folk we HOOKEM In the Mouth!!! Nothing like a gift 🎁 from a fellow angler!!!
you're truely a inspirational person
Awesome video Leo! Love that you like to experiment using new strategies that you aren’t familiar with, kudos from a big fan 👊👍
Hi Leo , glad you had a great day with good weather , I know you are getting snow again today.
Hey Leo, glad u are trying out copolymer line, I’ve been throwing that line for years it’s the only line I throw I love it ,, I’ve come to hate fluorocarbon and the hassles that come with it,,,, copolymer is great, there are no special knots and not as much conditioning involved,, and it’s super strong
Heyy leo tuneing in from trinidad........love your vids man i never miss one!
Kastking flourokate 6 lbs line four 3 years now, my go to for trout with no problems. One of Amazon top sellers.
Yes! Ned rig for the win. Nice video 👍🏻 good luck on opening day
Leo, use that Ned Rig in multi species trips. I’ve found I’ll be bass fishing and end up catching big trout or walleye and even pike on the same set up. Kinda neat to see. Caught a 25” Brown Trout on the Ned Rig last weekend!

White Raven correct, but zman improved it.

Once you know TRD does not mean Toyota Racing Department, you will still not understand Achronym man.
Leo , great and fair video . The KastKing Copolymer Line is very good. I do hope you give the same test to the " Berkley , NanoFil " lines and lures I sent to you on 12, July 2020 .

Nice job Leo! I haven't tried the ned rig yet....definitely have to give it a shot!
Great information yet again...:) I'm "gearing" up for the season and will want to re-string all the reels....think that stuff will get a try..:)
Brett is clutch with the pink senkos.
I can listen to you saying tree all day
Had a great day with the ned rig yesterday. Every other bait i used got zero action. Threw on the ned rig, low and behold, four nice largemouth in about an hour.

A Aguirre shoot I meant and
I just started using Z-man products. This is hands down the best soft plastic ever made.
Hey Leo love the videos... You should get some forceps for those tricky hook swollows.
New to the channel. Love your passion and great quality of your videos....Keep up the good work.
Those trd finesse worms, work good on the drop shot also. Caught a 4.4lb drop shotting them and a 4.8lb on the Ned rig.
your fishing that pretty fast for a ned rig. less hops, more dead sticking and subtle twitches. its a super finesse presentation. if you are fishing it like a craw, grub, or carolina rig and its working,one of those 3 will out produce the ned rig. have fun and thanks for the vids.
Nice video! I am watching from Norway. We dont have bass in Norway.
Ned rig... That’s my go to lure for pre spawn, spawn and pond fishing
They just stocked the creak by me but we got hit by a storm and got 3 inches of rain . All the fish were flushed down to a private spot
Hey Leo, great video. I've been watching your videos for a while now. Great content always. Have you ever used the Kastking Fluorokote line? If not could you try that line one day and give your thoughts on it? How it feels, streaches, sensitivity. Keep putting out the good content.
I love that you are proving that for minimal money you can fish anywhere! BTW how do you enjoy the kastking rods? I have four Royale reels and I love them.
Great video Leo!! That was some good fishing and great review!!!
Hello leo! There is a creek near me in NJ and I was wondering If you think there could be any fish biting it's about 3 to 4 foot deep at most.
Hey Leo love your videos I'm from the Philadelphia area can't wait to run into you one day!!!! I was wondering if you were ever considered to be a member of the googan squad?
let the geese be. they are a beautiful part of nature. natural audio is a good thing. thanks for testing the line for us. I'm planning on buying the sharky III baitfeeder 5000 for salt.
Jonathan Rojas i love the geese. shoot em every winter and get a ton of jerky!
I have a problem with your Videos, they are louder on the one side of my Headset than on the other. This doesnt happens at other Videos, can you check if your Sound settings are right? Except that problem you are doing a great job!
I appreciate your videos Leo.
I tried co polymer line once, it feels like dental floss, i used it on a single outing cause it was breaking way to easy, same lb test as i normally used and it was snapping off left and right
Always love your stuff, Leo!
Catch me those new species bro. And come to the beautiful Newport RI again or cape cod, MA!
Love the vids man and actually tommorow im going fiahing on a boat with pink lures and i think ima go to flag lake just a+++ mannnnn
Great video! Thanks! What camera do you use on the tripod?
I have to try out the ned rig sometime.
Has anybody ever tried Mr Twister 'Poc-It' baits? It is not the elastic stuff, but by way of construction, it is my understanding that they too float. I believe they are a bit longer which makes them more adaptable to a texas weedless setup
Must be so nice to fish around trees without wind complicating things more lol.
Happy Easter
Lol yea I'm sure it works fine....
I use braid for literally everything I do since I dont have the room money or rods and reels to use different line for each technique. Works for me still catch just as much fish.
As for NEKO. It's just a worm but the tail sticks up.
Never been in a situation where I needed to switch to a neko rig because fish aren't biting senko, power worm or trick worm lol..
I didn´t catch if you told it but what weight are you using for the shroom Leo?
what kind of neighborhood are you in? some of those houses in the background are enormous.
Any plans to fish the 7 Lakes waters in Harriman Park NY?
Leo, I like your videos. But I would suggest that you buy a net. Thanks for all your work in bringing these videos to us. Hal
Never leave a baited rod unattended Leo
I would never get caught dead using copolymer on a ned rig. Braid is so much more sensitive and Ned rigs are best around Rocky areas, the braid picks up those snags and light bites DRAMATICALLY better. Copolymer could be used for a short leader, but I never Ned rig without braid
Extremephillyfishing you should save up and get a small boat so you can get to spots you haven't fished and bigger fish
Another great vid man.
Awesome video and nice fish
The bass like the pink leo 😂😂😂
never tried the ned rig but I really need to get on board lol
lojo.fishing It's a game changer. Doesn't usually land big fish but it will produce when absolutely nothing else will even in the most pressured waters.
Did you go to the penny pack trout opener?
Love your vids bro keep it up
Ned Rig is my favorite!!!!!
What size was the jighead leo?
Is this just like berkley nanofil then? The line
So how does this copolymer differ from the fluorokote? Amazon says Fluorokote is a 100 percent fluoro coated copolymer.
He done choked up
Couldn't get the hook out then with a lead head I can't see him surviving but there's ups and downs to every life and he's just found his down
Damn, Brett really didn’t feel like talkin lol
Probably didn't want to be on camera but wanted to say hi. ☺
I didn't want to disturb Leo while he was making a video. I just wanted to show a little appreciation for what he does.
Brett Marseglia lol I figured so, just thought it was mad funny
Awesome vid Leo
Love the Ned rig with the finesse TRD but I have the same problems when they choke the bait if I fish on to slack a line. Keep checking the line every few seconds and you should be okay. Tight lines Leo!
You hyped for tomorrow Leo trout for days
What’s the light refraction
Ned is the king of dinkville in my experience anyways
brotha i highly recomend if you are not fishing smallmouth waters not to use pink. it is not very natrual. or used in the largemouth bass community. i would say to use something in the style of motor oil, green pumpkin. and in the neds i use the deal. pink for lmb's is only used in the spawn for a visual in sight fishing. now in the smally community. pink is like candy haha.
Philly How ya doin'?
You had to cut the line huh. I saw it in it's mouth. That sucks but i think it will live.
I don't loose gear I use 90 lbs braid
That combo seem like kastking copy shimano zodias with the ci4
I live 5 minutes away from the tinicum wildlife... Maybe I will catch you outside how bout that!!
I don’t like eating bass due to pond fishes are too fishy. For about 3 years I been catching so much basses and kill and cook them (I had a 55 gal fish tank for them to clean themselves out before putting them on plate) then I got scared of it for about 6-7 yrs now and still doesn’t like it that much maybe only for catch and release
Sick

What works use it
This guys channel hasn’t grown AT ALL in like the past year or so. Anyone else notice
Cash me outside 😂😂😂😂

Dont text and drive man........lol
Why would it not work? I use copolymer and braid as my only line
You didn't get the lure out of the fishes mouth when u said his blood was stained on it hmmm you seem to cut the line on alot of fish to claim you handle fish well
Don't know what you are talking about. The thing that you saw in the video that looks like a fishing line is not fishing line. And I was very very specific when I said that I was going to take the lure out. :)
P.s. in cases where I CUT the line, I would NEVER ever leave that amount of line outside of a fish's mouth, for real. Lol.
80% of a bass anglers day is losing his rig.
I think you mean cat fish. LOL I barely ever loose rigs bass fishing. Tautog are the most snaggy of them all.
Paul Dapkus yeah man catfishing is a lot of losing rigs to now that i think about it LOL
